ORONO AND BANGOR, MAINE - Aaron William Hartwell, 43, father, husband, and friend, passed away unexpectedly June 16, 2023 at his home in Orono, Maine. He was born May 15, 1980, in Blue Hill, Maine, the son of William C. and Lana C. (Hebert) Hartwell. Aaron was baptized in Waterville, Maine and served as an altar boy at Saint Mary's Church in Bangor. He attended the University of Maine and enjoyed many different hobbies: aviation, astronomy, model airplanes, metal detecting, camping, pottery, gardening, gaming and so much more. Aaron adored his wife, Alexis Dunham, and together they pushed each other to new heights. Their love story began with all odds against them; they lifted each other up and soared. He took pride in their love and accomplishments during their 14 and a half years together. His greatest accomplishment was becoming a father when Michael was born. And then his heart grew bigger when Asa and Ethan entered his life. Aaron felt honored to be their dad and encouraged all three of his boys to be the best versions of themselves and to make good choices. Aaron worked as an in-home caregiver for his oldest son, Asa and took care of his family's home. A home in which Aaron and Alexis worked so hard for. Aaron had the kindest of souls. His calm nature could still any magnitude of storm. If you went to him for some advice, it wouldn't be long before you were either laughing or feeling some direction found. His intellect was vast but his love and kindness for others was endless. He remains in spirit with his wife, Alexis and their beautiful children, Asa, Michael and Ethan; his father, Bill Hartwell and his wife, Jackie Hartwell; his sister, Kelly Hartwell; his Memere, Leta Ryder and her spouse Roger Gautier; mother-in-law, Teresa Hutchinson; step-father, Wayne Leighton, many aunts, uncles and cousins; and many friends, both on- and off-line. Aaron was predeceased by his loving Mother, Lana Leighton; his Nana, Marita Hartwell; his Pepere, Laurence Hebert; his bonus father-in-law, Edward Hutchinson; and friends that have gone on before him. A Celebration of Aaron's Life will be held 1:30 p. m. , Saturday, July 1, 2023, at 161 Davis Road Bangor, Maine.

Joachim Zenk

Age - 84

March 11, 2023

Joachim (Joe) Ernst Willi Zenk, 83, passed away peacefully on February 11th at home in Orono, Maine. Joe was born on September 6th, 1939, to Ernst Zenk and Ilse Strosin Zenk in the war-torn Baltic city of Stettin, Germany- now Szeszcin, Poland. His childhood was occupied with surviving the domineering and horrifying regimes that pushed his family to migrate through Europe and then immigrate to the United States as farm workers. When he was a teenager his family found a home in West Bend, Wisconsin where he and his sisters could attend schools, work, and make friends. He graduated from UWMadison with degrees in English Literature and History, then from UWMilwaukee with an advanced degree in History. He was thoughtful, playful and athletic, and enjoyed the reciprocity of teaching, debate, gymnastics, tennis, and skiing. He believed in the beauty of nature and in giving to others through concern and physical work. As an adult he managed the feelings of fear and responsibility he carried as a war refugee by reading about politics and considering others' experiences. Acts of kindness in his memory may be done anytime, anywhere. Joe is survived by Jane, his wife of 59 years (they met skiing); his daughter Martha, her spouse Andrea and their child River; his son Carl's children: William and his wife Jocelyn, and Laura and Jackson and their mother Sara; his daughter-in-law Becca and her daughters Hannah and Allie; his brother-in-law Carl Enderstein and his son Christoph; his sister Barbara Palermo and her daughters Danya and Shiri; his brother-in-law John Rosenwald, his wife Ann Arbor and their daughter Heidi. He is preceded in death by his sister Marianne Enderstein and her son Michael, and by his own son, Carl Zenk. His favorite activity may have been shoveling snow, and during his last shoveling session he was full of advice: to lure danger and then step out of its way, to playfully obey gravity, and to use the right tool. He was very loved and is already missed. A service will be held in a forest in spring-after mud season. Details to come.Show more
